' RING-SPINNING FRAME AND OTHER SPINNING MACHINE.

Application filed December 26, 1924. Serial No. 758,296.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT TAYLOR, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, residing at Soho Iron Works, Oldham, in the county ofLancaster, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in orRelating to Ring-Spinning Frames and Other Spinning Machines, of whichthe following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in or relating to ring spinningframes and other spinning machines such as flyer frames, mules and thelike and has for its object to provide an improved arrangement of capbar fingers and rollers capable of producing a high draft.

For this purpose the top back and middle draft rollers upon the rollerstand are divided or replaced by two rollers or the middle roller onlyis replaced by two rollers, the inner ends of the two rollers thusformed in each. case being mounted. in a middle finger having suitablebearings therein in which said rollers are journalled.

In the accompanying drawings Figure I is an end elevation of the rollerstand of a ring or other spinning frame or machine constructed accordingto the pres ent invention.

Figure 2 is a plan thereof.

Figure 3 is a section of a modified arrangement of rollers and fingersand Figure a is a plan thereof.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2 of said drawings, 1 represents the rollerstand mounted upon the frame 2 of the frame or machine, 3 represents thefront roller supported in the bearings S and upon which rests theweighted roller l.

Supported by the brackets 5 are the middie roller 6 and the back roller7 mounted in the bearings 6 and 7, and supported by fingers 8 and amiddle finger 9 fixed upon the bar 1 and having bearings 8 and 9respectively are the top middle rollers 10 and the heavy back roller 11,the usual top middle and back rollers being divided as shown in Figure2.

In Figures 3 and 4 is shown an alternative arrangement of the rollers,the top middle rollers 10 are divided as above described, the heavy backroller 11 being retained in one piece as heretofore whilst in order tosupport the inner journals of the top middle rollers 10 the middlefinger 9 is cranked as shown in order to clear the back rollers 7 and11, though if desired said middle finger 9 might be cranked above theback roller 11 instead of beneath the same.

By the latter construction illustrated in Figures 3 and 4 an existingframe or machine may be converted without altering the existing back toproller thereby saving expense.

It will be understood that the details of construction of the device maybe modified without departing from the principle of the invention.

IVhat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patentis 1. In a ring or other spinning frame or machine, a pair of end rollersupporting fingers, top middle and top back rollers, in two parts, saidmiddle rollers being axially aligned and said back rollers being axiallyaligned, a finger mounted upon the bar intermediate of the end fingers,bearings in said intermediate finger to support the inner ends of theshafts of said axially aligned rollers.

2. In a ring or other spinning frame or machine, a pair of end rollerssupporting fingers, top middle rollers in two parts and axially aligned,a finger mounted on the bar intermediate the usual roller supportingfingers, bearings in said finger to sup port said top middle rollers attheir inner ends, said finger being cranked to pass below the top andbottom back rollers.

In testimony whereof I have" signed my name to this specification.

ROBERT TAYLOR.
